Me: Does that mean it's been passed back to capital one or you've sold it to someone else?
Debitas: It appears that we still have the debt but are no longer chasing payment

Absolutely astounded - though, they still need to remove the default from my credit record.

I'm not gonna know what to do with myself - maybe I should set up my own call answering company?

You know what would have been the best thing? If the whole time they were phoning, it was to tell you this.
